I use vsftpd on my CentOS6.4 home server. Recently I noticed that I can connect to the ftp but LIST command fails because vsftpd is returning wrong IP address when entering passive mode.
I figured out that I need to change vsftpd.conf from
pasv_address=my.domain.com
to
pasv_address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (server's IP address)
to make it work.
Since my server's IP address is not static, I use a dynamic DNS service and the service is working fine. However, it seems vsftpd returns an old IP address as pasv_address.
Can anyone suggest why this happens and how to solve it.
Thanks in advance.

Try putting the following line in your
vsftpd.confThen you should be able to put a hostname instead of an IP address as the
pasv_address;pasv_addr_resolvdefaults toNO
